Teen Airlifted After Being Severely Burned
February 5, 2017
A 13-year old was airlifted to a regional burn center after suffering severe burns near Flomaton Saturday afternoon.
Flomaton Fire Chief Steve Stanton said the girl was burned all over her body during an incident involving an “outside fire” at a home on Wolf Log Road about 1:24 p.m.
The victim was airlifted by LifeFlight helicopter to the USA Burn Center in Mobile for treatment. The victim’s name has not been released.
Stanton said Flomaton Police Office Leon Kiser was on routine patrol when the driver of a pickup truck flagged him down and asked for an escort to DW McMillan Hospital in Brewton. Kiser said he could not, but told the driver to follow him to a nearby location where Stanton, several firemen and an 0ff duty police officer were having a hunting club cookout.
They were able to provide medical care for the teen until the Friendship Volunteer Fire Department and an Escambia County (FL) EMS unit from Century arrived on scene to prepare for LifeFlight.

As a resident I often times hear the Responders going down the road. And more times than not I instantly pray for whomever is involved in what ever happened. Must thank these Responders for doing an excellent job. I realize that it is not an easy thing to do everyday of a Responders life. I also am praying for the young lady and her family involved in this fire incident. God bless and thank you.
Just an FYI…
LifeFlight landed in Friendship Volunteer Fire Department’s jurisdiction. They are not mentioned but played a role in this as well. We appreciate what they do in our community and don’t want them to go unnoticed!
